Fury
« on: December 31, 1969, 06:00:00 PM »
The market has been asking for it and you''ve been warned it was coming...........now the new high performance brand from Brunswick is finally here! After three years of development Brunswick proudly introduces FURY.  FURY comes to market with two new technologies High Octane Coverstock and Symmetric Torsion Core Technology.

Coverstock:
High Octane Coverstock is Brunswick’s latest development in Solid Color Coverstock Technology. The Ultimate & Scorchin’ Inferno® balls were the humble predecessors to the new performance standard of FURY.More aggressive than Activator® or ActivatorMAX, High Octane coverstock provides more traction in the oil and is better able to handle the combination of hard synthetic lane surfaces and the carrydown created by today’s high-tech lane oils. Fury is the highest hook potential non-particle ball Brunswick has ever produced and is our best ever combination of high hook potential, great mid-lane recovery combined with strong and continuous back-end reaction.

Core:
The Torsion core is a new core shape concept that involves applying a computerized torsion or twisting process to high-tech shapes. Brunswick testing has shown that the Torsion core should quickly become known for its high hook potential, easy revving and powerful, but controllable breakpoints.  The first Torsion core is a symmetric version that requires no unique drilling techniques. Brunswick has twisted the core on the inside of the ball so you can twist it up more on the lanes. It started with a Fuze®, turned into an Inferno and now comes the Fury......Feel the FURY.

Reaction Characteristics
•Out of the Box: The FURY continues the Brunswick tradition of controlling the mid-lane to create maximum forgiveness and versatility. With its 800-grit wet sand surface, the FURY matches up well on most medium to oily house conditions.
•When dulled: The hooking action will increase and its arc will become more even, creating a better match-up for oily lane conditions and for smoothing over/under reactions seen on wet/dry lane conditions.
•When shined: With either Brunswick’s Factory Finish “High Gloss Polish” or “Rough Buff”, your FURY will go longer in the oil and react stronger to the dry creating a more skid/snap arc. High Gloss Polish creates more length than Rough Buff.

My Fury has a 3-4" pin with about 3oz top. The pin is slightly above the fingers with the CG slightly kicked out.  I then hit the surface with 2000 Abralon so the ball doesn't hook at my feet.  Wow is all I can say.  This ball allows me to play in the oil and away from the crowd.  This is the strongest ball I've ever drilled and is a keeper.

just got a fury and threw it for the first time, so i thought i'd post an early review.  the ball is 15 lb 3 oz top 1-2 in pin.  after some discussion with my ball driller, we decided to go with a rico layout (pin down, hole down), however with only 3 oz top weight i didnt need a weight hole (though if i want to my back end look i could put one on my PAP).  anyway, left the ball in OOB.  I bowled at sea bowl, pacifica ca (rolled a 202-202-185, synth lanes) the lanes were med-heavy oil with dry outside 5.  the pattern seemed tight as there wasnt a lot of back end on the lanes.  i started playing bout 23/12-13 (board 23, over the 12-13 board).  for the way i throw the ball, hi track, med revs, the ball has a nice even arc, but can be speed sensitive, though that could be operator error.  after making an adjustment to the right, stood 17 throw over 7, the ball had a better read for me, also gave me the needed practice on this line as i don't play this line very often.  last game i got hit with a high flush 4-9 split, and a 4-6-7 split, the ball did snap hard but it could be operator error again.  overall the ball worked well for my game.  i was told that to wait about 12 or so games for the ball to get broken in in order to get a more consistent reaction.  i'll post another review later to give ya an update.

i bought mine used a couple of months ago. the first month i had it i thought what a waste of money. i didn't really like the drilling on it. it was drill for more of a down and in type of player. i messed with the cover just trying to make something work instead of redrilling it. IM GLAD I DID. i had it sanded to 1500 with polish. this ball is amazing now. before i tried it at 800 and 400 wetsand. did nothing for me. anyways. this ball reminds me of my favorite ball - the riot zone. this ball is very readable. very smooth. very forgiving. and very hard hitting. with the cover prep thats on it i can hold my shot on the lanes for a good while. i am very please with my fury.

well.. i thought i'd follow up on my earlier post.  this time i polished the ball up to 1500 using storm xtra shine.  was bowling on lanes that had an extremely flat shot, plenty of OOB and carry down.  first used my morich seek and destroy (224 game one), then the shot fizzled (138 game two) realized that trying to make or force a shot work doesnt work as i was playing down the 5-7 board but shot got toooo squirrly and was unpredicable.  so in the 8th frame 2nd game, i switched to my fury, adjusted my shot (moved to 13 board and adjusted my mark 6-7 board) and played a more direct line to the pocket and what a difference.  the ball was very readable and as long as i stayed with my mark and my ball speed was ok, i rolled a consistant game (224 game 3).  i'm really starting to like this ball.  i wasnt sure i was gonna like this polished, but the house put extra oil on the lanes due to USBC were checking the oil patterns and doing some testing.  i did polish this ball because the week prior i wanted to use my fury, but the lanes had little oil and the ball burned up too soon (i used my storm eraser that week), so i was anticipating the same oil pattern, but the good news is that the ball works well in oil, you just need to figure out the right line to use.  i'll post another followup as i get more games on it.

later..af

I have two.  One with surface and drilled to hook early and one polished and drilled to go long.  I mostly use the one that is drilled to go long.  The ball is a monster but gets down the lane with ease and turns the corner to crush the pins.  I love how this ball revs up right before it hits the pin deck.  This is probably my favorite solid ball.

I was a bit reluctant to buy this ball, after reading some of the early reviews - Most seemed to suggest that the coverstock needed to be polished in order to control it. Out of the box, it's sanded at 800. I drilled it (Mine is 15 Lbs 6 Oz. with the pin out 3 1/4"), with the pin at 1:00, slightly less than an inch from my ring finger, stacked leverage, with the CG kicked out about an inch from the GC, no X hole. Before even throwing it, I wet sanded it to 600, as I've always done with my original Inferno, and my DZ Red Alert (Probably my favorite ball of all time), and - WOW! This ball acts just like my Red Alert used to before it accumulated too many games on it, and the coverstock (PowrKoil 18)had been wet sanded hundreds of times. On my typical league house conditions, I usually stand with my left foot 10-12 boards left of center, at the back row of dots. My approach is straight, so I slide on the same spot, and my target is usually the 13 board at the arrows, speed around 18 MPH, Not a real cranker, but not a "stroker" either - A "Tweener +" I suppose .... This ball does exactly what I was hoping for: VERY Forgiving - If I miss right, it comes screaming back off the outside dry - If I keep it inside, say at the 15 board (3rd arrow), it holds, and snaps hard in the back. Hits like a freight train, and never "rolls out" - Always gives me that ultimate angle of entry into the pocket, with about three boards of room for error at the arrows. Only thing that I can complain about is leaving 9 pins, and occasional 8 pins, but if you leave a ringing nine pin as a righty, you know you threw it TOO good! I've been using this ball since the end of September, and have never had to put it away - I just move left with my feet, and increase my speed as the lanes break down. Can't use it for ten pins, but that's what my plastic ball is for. I'm currently averaging 222, after finishing last season at 211 - I've had three 750+ triples with this ball, No 300s, but three 279s. This is the best ball I've used since the Red Alert when it was still fresh - I recommend it highly!

I purchased this ball because I wanted a ball that had a different lay out than my black widow and no mercy unfortunately this was drilled the same as my no mercy. However, this ball hooks like mad. I have to really get the ball out there. So far I love this ball. stroker med speed

I love my Brunswick Fury. I can't believe that control. I averaged around 140 and my career best was a 182. Last night I threw it for the first time and no kidding I threw a 195, 236, 200, 198. I recommend it to anyone! Fantastic ball great hook! This ball has great back end power and really explodes the pins. I threw 6 in a row last night for the first time in my life. I love my new ball! It's a gem!

I like this Brunswick Fury so much. I bowl my first time back-to-back 300 in my life. I bowl 300, 300, 257 with this brand new Fury on the local tournament in Hong Kong. The Brunswick Absolute Inferno and this Brunswick Fury are my favorite weapons in my bowling bags. Brunswick did GREAT job!

Have had this ball for about 6 months now and I love it!! Don't know all the technical terms but ball is drilled 2E on the sheet... I am a stroker, low speed 13-14 mph and low revs... high game is 253 (I am proud of it since I haven't bowled in over 6 years!) Ball needs oil but the wetter the better! I would have to recommend this ball to anyone!

I was going to start this review by saying that this is the worst bowling ball that I have ever purchased. But then I thought that may be a little bit harsh. Let me just say that for me this ball was not what I was looking for. My complaints about this ball are the following. It's not as good of a heavy oil ball as what I thought it would be. And the hook that I was getting seemed to wear out quickly. The only thing that keeps me from saying that this is the worst ball possible is that the ball really works well for me now on medium lanes. The ball is a good arcing ball and doesnt seem to overreact when using on an over-under type condition. If I get on a medium shot and want to play pretty straight without sending the ball wide then I can usually score with this ball. It isnt the heavy oil ball that I was looking for, but it isnt all bad either.

5" pin below fingers no hole

You will find other reviews of mine of the Fury. I no longer have the 5.75" pin Fury after I had to clean up the basement. I had a gap in my bag. I only had two solid balls a high pin Red Zone and a high pin polished Fury.

I have been bowling a lot of tournaments and there was something missing. Now I have the look I've been wanting. The Fury smooths out the dry and rolls in the oil. I like the predictability of a symmetrical core. This ball will be one of the first out of the bag on the fresh shots.

They're now a good buy if you need a new solid.

I had my Fury drilled to go down lane and make a strong move on the backend. That's exactly what I got, this ball is incredible in heavy oil and medium oil. This will be my new go to tournament ball when the lanes are flooded. Whatever you do, DON'T use this ball on short patterns or drier lanes it will over react and leave nasty splits. This is truly a very impressive bowling ball. Great job Brunswick.

Fury rating-10/10

COMMENTS

Carry -  Carry with this ball is very condition specific.  I have tried this ball at higher grits, and with lower grits with polish, and found that at 800 grit I get the best carry with the most versatility.  As long as the oil stays in the heads, this ball (with it's strong midlane roll) will dominate.  As the oil begins to move, the carry starts to go away.  As soon as you see a couple of flat corners, start to move immediately.  This ball does carry well from inside with lower angles due to its strong midlane characteristic.  Don't fall in love with swinging this ball to the moon, not because it will not make it back, but rather to stay away from the ball rolling up too quick and flat cornering you to death.


Likes -  Very predictable roll, and this ball is one of those you can dub a "benchmark" ball in your arsenal.  It gives you a very good read on what the condition will give you in the first few shots, a must have need for a tournament ball in your lineup.  This ball is very strong in the midlane, and it allows you the ability to "open up" the lane by starting in deeper, and being able to create area.  Of the shots I bowled on, this ball is very good on the Scorpion and a 42 ft. heavy blend THS.


Dislikes -  The strong midlane read of this ball is also one of its detractors.  When the heads start to go away, this ball needs to be put back in the bag.  You can try and move in, but once the oil has been pushed down the lane, this ball still wants to try and roll up earlier, but fails to finish on the carrydown, causing flat corners.  If you are not astute in your carry recognition, this ball can frustrate you to the tune of 10-12 corner pins in a three game set.  You need to keep this ball in the bag on lighter oil house shots, like the 38 ft. THS I tried this ball on.  Also, it is not the ball of choice on the Viper, as there is not as much of a heavy blend to move into, so this ball reads a bit too early for that shot.

Specs:

15 lbs.
Pin Right/CG Under Ring
Original Box Finish

After about 1 year with this ball, I came to the conclusion that it is a decent ball.  Very condition specific with my style of play (style of play listed in my signature).  I have shot decent games with 200+ but there has been one problem with it, the BACK END!  It's there but not enough.  I have gone 5 frames straight in the past leaving weak 10's then switch balls and all 10 pins are in the pit.  Again, decent ball but condition specific.  The drilling I have is a basic drill.  Enough push through the front and a good arc to the pins.  Also, this ball eats oil so I have I'm taking trips to the proshop to get it all cleaned up.

To sum it up, decent ball.  When the lanes are right, it's a beast.  But the wrong ball to be versatile with.
